AGRICULTURAL FAIRS,

The GOLD LEAF is strong friend
and advocate of agricultural fairs.
Such displays Of our products can but
prove of great benefit to a State or
community when properly conducted.
They serve as a stimulous to the people
awakening them to higher apprecia-
ton of the extent and CAPABILITIES of
our resources, and do much toward liz
fluencing them to renewed and greater
efforts by way of creating friendly
rivalry among exhibitors. For this
reason we are always anxious to see
any enterprise of its kind successful,
and we urge out people to do some
thing toward making the State Fair
and the Weldon Fair such. We name
these especially because they are near
TO us and the citizens of Vance and
adjoining counties ought to feel sort
OF personal interest in them. Let our
section be we'll represented at both
places. We can make good exhibit
if we will, and the GQLp LEAF respect
fully suggests that We do it. Speak
INK OF the State Fair the Praeytssfoe
Farmer says this:
With our fine crops and the enthu-
siaStic determination which pervades
the great mass OF our farmers in all
sections of the State, to improve their
condition, we hope to see them avail
themselves of the benefits to be de.
rived from a liberal patronage of the
State Fair, and to see thousands OF
them on that occasion. Let every
one of them bring something to put
on exhibition, Il will help the fair
twill encourage the officers, it will do
you good. Come to the fair and bring
something with you from your farm.
Encourage your son and daughter to
do something and bring them and the
good wife along with you,
The gold leaf. [volume] (Henderson, N.C.) 1881-1911, 1887-09-22

WHILE We believe the people of no
town are more united upon all ques-
tions affecting the general coed of the
community than those of Henderson,
the following sensible remarks from the
Atlanta Constitution will bear repeat
ing. 1t says:
A town must have natural CONNER
cial advantages-but it might have all
the advantages in the world, and yet
not prosper if its citizens are SO con-
stituted as to be willing to look after
their own individual affairs, and not
willing to sink petty grievances for the
general good,
The gold leaf. [volume] (Henderson, N.C.) 1881-1911, 1887-09-22

THE Piedmont exposition, at Allan
ia, is going to be a big affair. 1t will
he of great practical value to the South.
All the booming cities and rich sec
tons, with their minerals and crops
and woods and industries, will be fully
represented. The result will not only
show to the world the advancement
that has been made, but will foster and
encourage further progress. Is our
immediate section doing anything to
be represented there? I'VE know
North Carolina will be. Henderson
and Vance county should look to their
interests in this matter.

DURHAM and Henderson both voted
the subscription to the Durham &
Northern Railroad. This looks like
the line viii run to Henderson as
Major Winder's promise sseem to lead
that way. 1t seems to us that Dur
ham would prefer to run to the point
she could get to with least money.
Franklinton Weekly.
Why bless you, neighbor, Durham
is not going to build the railroad; and
even if she was, is it not reasonable
that she would prefer direct communl-
cation with that point from which she
would receive most benefit from such
connection? 1t seems SO to us at any
rate.
The gold leaf. [volume] (Henderson, N.C.) 1881-1911, 1887-09-22
A RAILROAD FROM DAN
WILLIE TO HENDERSON.

The latest move in the railroad
world is proposed line from Danville
to Henderson. A company has already
been formed and subscription books
opened. This is a road that would do
us much good and the GOLD LEAF
hopes to see it built. Commenting on
what the Norfolk Public Leager re-
Gently said referring to the re-estab-
lishment of trade relations between
that port and certain markets in North
Carolina, the Danville Register says:
But is Norfolk content to secure the
trade of Durham alone ? The policy
of the Richmond & .Danville Road
toward towns along its line has been
so arbitrary and illiberal that all towns
in this section of Virginia and North
Carolina would be glad to have an
outlet to Norfolk and to do business
with the tidewater people. We would
subscribe literally to road which will
give US an outlet to Norfolk. Danyille
has already voted $4,000 to the
Atlantic & Danville, but in spite Of
that fact would, we believe, vote lib
eral subscription to road from this
point to Henderson, N. c., ifshe could
be assured of an independent connec-
ton with the Seaboard Road.
Norfolk and the Seabord Road must
be alive to the fact that there is a
splendid country in this section whose
people are only waiting for an oppor-
tunity to get relieffrom the Richmond
& Danville oppression. But under the
present system, it is impossible for
Danville to do business with Norfolk.
Later, Danville correspondent of
the Richmond WAtg says on this sub
ject:
Books of the Danville & Seaboard
Railroad were opened to-day (Sept.
Io) for subscriptions to the capital
stock. The committee for soliciting
subscriptions is composed of Messrs. ].
G. Penn, M. P. Jordan, P. R. Jones,
H. w. Cole, and James E. School
field. These gentlemen are some OF
our liveliest and most progressive bust
ness men. The corporators of the
road are ]. D. Blair, c. G. Holland,
F. X. Burton. J. F. Rison, NJ. P. Jor-
dan, J. {. Wrenshall, Bergman Green,
John H. Schoolfeld, ]. G. Penn, c.
H. Conrad, B. B. Gordon, d. w.
Thorn, ]. Wilcox Brown, and Frank
P. Clark. The charter provides that
the road shall run from Danville to
some point at or near Norfolk. The
route now contemplated is from Dan.
vile to the North Carolina line, and
from there to Henderson.
What has Henderson to say on the
subject of having another road? II
would pay US to hold out some induce
ment to get this connection. The in
corporators mean business We are told
and the possibilities are that within a
few more years Henderson will be
quite an important railroad centre.
Let them Come-the more the better.

A NEW use has been discovered for
corn. An oil made from it has been
at Chicago as the latest thing
in cereal product. 1t is claimed that
it IS equal to cotton seed oil for the
kitchen and soap factory. The only
kind of oil previously obtained from
corn is called "fusil," which was an
incident Of whiskey manufacture.

| DISTINGUISHED EDITOR
DEAD.

The death of Capt. James Barron
Hope, the scholarly and accomplished
poet editor of the Norfolk Landmark,
removes one of the most brilliant and
useful of Southern journalists. He
died suddenly Of heart disease at his
home in Norfolk at 6:2o O'Clock last
Thursday evening, in the 5Sth year OF
his age. A short while ago Capt.
Hope was invited by Gov. Lee to pre-
pare a poem to be read at the unvell-
ing in October of the monument to be
erected to the memory of Gen, Lee in
Richmond, The poet had just finish
ed the work and placed it in the hands
of a copyist the very day that he died.
We consider it fortunate IN the inter-
est Of the history and literature of the
South that Capt. Hope lived to finish
this task. Speaking on this subject
the Richmond IFAtg says:
The work may go on, though the
builder cease. The poet who was in
vited to present his tribute to LEE on
the occasion referred TO, has, before the
appointed time, followed his hero and
joined
'sThe innumerable caravan which moves
To that mysterious realm where each shall
take
His chamber in the silent halls of death. "
His lips are mute and his tongue is
still, but the thoughts and words which
he would have devoted to this interest
ing event are fortunately preserved,
and it is fitting that some one should
be designated by the proper suthority
to deliver the poem, in its proper order,
at the laying of the cornerstone.
